Introductory Webisode!! #1

Going back to the basics of why I started my blog in the 1st place, I am starting my webisode series. Here, I will post videos every week from my daily life as it relates to modeling. From shows, shoot, castings, EVERYTHING!! You will see it right here in real time! What gave me the inspiration for this was when I was talking with a good friend of mine and he suggested I do this, and I thought, hey, why not! Although, I can not promise I will be able to give you guys access to everything I'm doing but I will definitely try my best! The purpose of me doing this is to inspire as well as to show viewers the not so glamorous side of modeling and what I go through day in and day out! Some days are good...others, aren't so great, But thats life! Stay tuned folks, check out the intro webisode below, and Enjoy!

There are sure to be some surprises!

PRR is a project hosted by and in support of Pink Jams! Working to promote breast cancer awareness to men and women under the age of 40, Pink Jams! works to eradicate the misconception that awareness, self-exam, and mammograms should begin at 40. Learn more about Pink Jams!

At the conclusion of the event, Pink Jams! will provide a special grant to the Capital Breast Care Center in support of their important work. The Capital Breast Care Center, chosen as the 2011 community grant recipient, works to provide women in the Washington, DC area with mammograms and health screenings regardless of their ability to pay. Currently, the CBCC is diagnosing breast cancer at two times the national rate.

MODEL Q

Former “Project Runway” contestant turned popular designer Mychael Knight premiered his Spring 2012 line for NY Fashion Week in SOho last night (9/10/11).

TheYBF.com was on the scene. And we asked a few questions to the celebs like Trina, Olivia, and Gloria Govan who were sitting front row. And we picked out our fave looks that came down the runway.

Mychael tapped models Jessica White, Dani Evans (Top Model Winner), and Nik Pace (former Top Model contestant) to hit the runway for his show. Dani’s looking all kinds of hot at this show. Loves it. Mychael said to us about his life and dream of showing at NY Fashion Week.

"Life is fun! I’m in a good place right now. This is a very happy moment. This whole collection brought out memories of my youth..I’m just in a really happy place right now. You have to work for it. This whole process was hard as hell. I cried a lot this year. You cant give up”

Trina, Jessica White and Olivia attended Project Runway graduate Mychael Knight show at Fashion Week Spring 2012.

LLS Woman of the Year Candidate Hosts Fashion for a Cause in Washington DC!

Model Q in House of Rossil Designs (houserossil.com)

On Thursday Night May 5th 2011, Model Q was featured in a fashion show for the the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Check out the full story below!

Sanam Toossi continued her campaign for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) Woman of the Year last night through an evening filled with fashion, fun and charity. Toossi hosted a fashion show called “Fashion for a Cause” at Josephine’s in Washington D.C.

The event was sponsored by NOVA Fashion Week and featured lots of spring dresses and other spring looks by DC fashion designer House Rossil and up and coming student designer Samuel Ugglee.

All of the proceeds of the event went to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Toossi’s goal is to raise $100,000 for the cause and last night’s fashion show was one of several fundraising events to reach her goal.

After the show, Toossi introduced a special guest to the audience, Kasey Farrell. Farrell is mother to the Girl of the Year, Molly Farrell. Molly was diagnosed with Pre-B Lymphoblastic Lymphoma in April 2009 at the age of 4. The family battled against the cancer, and they feel incredibly blessed that she has been healthy ever since the extensive treatment. Kasey explained that they would never have been able to get through the struggle without the research and support of LLS.


Check out the video coverage from this event, featuring MODEL Q, brought to you by WUSA Channel 9, local news channel in Washington DC

BET'S LEADING WOMEN DEFINED SUMMIT

Designs by: Saint Wobil

Designs by: Jacinta Ligon






Susan Taylor at the "Leading Women Defined" Summit Last Year (Credit: BET)
BET held it’s second annual “Leading Women Defined” Summit in D.C. on March 15-17th at the Four Seasons in Georgetown. The summit, according to it’s password protected Web site, is “a special gathering of approximately 100 strategic thought leaders representing a cross-section of areas impacting the Black community.”

This year’s summit honored Susan Taylor, former editor of ESSENCE and founder of National CARES Mentoring Movement, at the Dorothy Height luncheon on Tuesday.

The summit also included panels with inspiration Black women such as producer Mara Brock Akil, poet Sonia Sanchez, NAACP’s Chairman Roslyn M. Brock, poet/author Ntozake Shange, Star Jones and editor-in-chief of Ebony Amy DuBois Barnett. Panelists also included actresses Tichina Arnold, Tatyana Ali, Nicole Ari Parker, Tracee Ellis Ross and Boris Kodjoe.

Still, among the high powered women, legendary actress Cicely Tyson apparently “stole the show”:

Tyson took the mic and told an indignant story about how, after everything she’s done in her career, she was recently asked to do a screen test to prove her talent — and then she still didn’t get the job.

But then, “it’s not what people do to you, it’s what you let them do to you,” Tyson said. “You have your own power and you have to execute it.
